Feeling left out

So it seems my friends don't want to bother! Maybe I'm being sensitive but it feels isolating and then I want to be defensive but I'm also a walkover so in limbo 😄 Found it hard making new friends too, although I am popping along to a twins/multiples group soon. Try again!

Is this your first pregnancy? Unfortunately a lot of my friends just disappeared when I had my dd, they don't bother replying to your texts anymore and can't understand why you don't just leave the baby at home and do nights out when they are just weeks old!

The good thing is that the people who really care about you do stick around, and you do make new mum friends who will understand what you're going through xx

Second pregnancy, my first is 5yrs old now and I went through a rough time with her dad from which I thought I do have good friends but feel that's dwindled going in different directions. The one particular friend in question I'm bridesmaid for at end of March, so she was not delighted when found out I was having twins. Plus she has gynae problems and finds it hard knowing I'm having babies and she hasn't even tried yet, it was my priority. Sounds petty 🤔 Thanks, think just need some good sleep too!! Xx

6 month old, first week

There could be great excitement this month if your baby cuts her first tooth. Usually one of the front teeth in the bottom jaw puts in an appearance, followed by its neighbour and then the two top front teeth. Read More

Your baby may favour one hand for a while and then switch to the other. But you can't really tell whether he's a lefty or a righty until he's about two or three years old. Don't try to influence your baby's hand preference. Read More
